At the end of 2021 he had knee surgery for an injury sustained during training when a large line coach fell on him. During training in 2022 his foot was accidentally stomped on by a teammate during training causing a fracture. Then at our Alice game in 2023 during a marking contest he came down hard and rolled his ankle so severely that it caused a fracture to a bone in his foot. This preseason marked the first time since December 2021 he’s been fully injury-free.

I’ll be at the ‘G today for the Blues/Cats match. I have a niece who has defected and is a Cats fan much to the chagrin of my all-Carlton family. I’m supporting her because I know only to well what it’s like to be the black sheep and I respect her for having the balls to come out as a Cats fan, unlike my gutless self who masqueraded as a Blues fan for many years. 😭 I’ll be going for the Blues though. Soz if that makes anyone throw up their brekky 😅 At least one person here will be of the same mind, huh @No. 31 ?????

Except they are copping it NOWHERE NEAR as much as we did over Clarrie. You’re only saying this because their “troubled player” situation is currently in the spotlight. Cast your mind back to when it was peak Clarrie media coverage then compare that with what’s happening right now with Jamarra. Not even a fraction of what we copped. Besides, how does anyone outside the Bulldogs inner sanctum know how professional their handling of the situation is?

Massive [censored] sigh and 360-degree eye roll.

I’ve thought this all along. For mine he’s the perfect person to take over the captaincy.

He went on to say this isn’t a case of *wishful thinking on his part, nor will he be made available prematurely. He said he’s been told he’s progressing better - and faster - than expected. *He joked that maybe Goody and co. are sick of him being down on the bench behind them, yelling all the while, and he might be right… at times it looked as though he wanted to jump the bench and rip Goody’s headset off, put it on himself and take over coaching. 😂

I was at a prematch coterie dinner on Thursday night (not as a diner, but as a pleb selling raffle tickets 😅) and Ricky Lever was the guest speaker. Interestingly, he said despite being listed as 6-7 weeks away from a return, in reality it’s closer to four weeks, possibly even three.

Miles Bergman = Temu Horne-Frances 😝

I’ve stopped watching because I know for sure the umps and the feral crowd will get Port over the line 🤮

Yes.

God those Port supporters get more feral by the minute

After our win over Freo someone on here said how watching the match live showed things you don’t see when watching on TV. and in this case it was about Kolt and how enthusiastic he is out there, how he’s involved in setting up zones and he routinely yells to his teammates. I told him this was said about him and he said he wasn’t really aware he does this. He said he’s just being himself out there and this is true since he’s like this at training. We really do need Kolt out there. His youth and exuberance is valuable and his confidence is infectious. We’re a better side with him in it.

I’m not agreeing nor disagreeing with the OP, I just wanted to remind folks that sometimes the path to having a child isn’t as easy for some.

I know right?! Slack-arze Joeboy strikes again. 🙄 It’d be different if we weren’t paying him for his input… wait, that’s right, WE’RE NOT - HE DOES IT FOR NOTHING! Thank you Joeboy for your weekly analysis. It’s the first thing I read on the train home from a match <3

Of course he’s not a superstar; what player is/was a superstar so early in their career?

Just Googled it. I didn’t know it came from the wrestling world

NFI What is HBK?

Most certainly a brilliant song but tonight it was all about “Sweet CHIN Music” 🎶

Libba (Tom) held the record for a while with iirc 20. That was several years ago, not sure if it’s been broken since.

Ah you realised you’d made it sound like Jack was the pet dog and edited your post accordingly 🤣

Can we PLEASE just enjoy the win??!! Even if just for one night??! Hell, ‘til midnight, even? Ffs, so many sadsack posts after a win. We were 0 and 5, REMEMBER?!

A kiss on the head to congratulate a teammate for kicking a goal… love, love, LOVE Kolt!!!

Outside the ‘G right now and they’re sound-checking. I’ve heard both anthems and the Last Post. Already very moving.

We recently had a much-loved cheer squad member pass away. As a homage, someone will do what he did every match. He’d yell out to the umpire, “He’s been doing it all night!” but always in the first few minutes of the match. Never not funny R.I.P. Gentleman James ❤️💙

I told Goody the lucky socks story and he laughed and said, “Tell Maysie about that!” I didn’t speak to Maysie but I’m guessing he also has lucky socks (?) If so, he’d better have them on tonight. The Ghosty and Maysie lucky socks one-two punch will get us over the line. 🧦 🧦 👊🏼
